NURS 641 Applied Health Statistics I: Descriptive, Associative & Comparative Statistics

Credits: 4
This first course in a 3-course series focuses on a conceptual understanding of analysis and interpretation of descriptive and inferential statistics. Students will develop skills in the performance and interpretation of common statistical tests, including tests of central tendency and dispersion, correlations, chi-square tests, t-tests and analysis of variance, and develop an understanding of when particular tests should be employed. This course will also cover sample size estimation/power calculation procedures for common hypothesis testing. Applying health statistics as part of a logical argument is emphasized as opposed to detailed knowledge of the underlying mathematics.
